Zhou Huai asking Moria to return wasn't just to be a nanny for that Black Dragon egg.

That was purely an unexpected bonus.

What he truly valued was the new skill Moria had comprehended after reaching Rank 10.

【Skill Name: Demon Lord Contract (LV1)】

【Skill Effect: Can consume 100 points of Devilish Qi to sign a contract with any professional. Upon successful contract, the professional will become the Demonic Lord's servant, absolutely loyal, never betraying.】

【Skill Effect 2: The Demonic Servant will receive a 10% all-attribute bonus from the Demonic Lord's main body.】

【Skill Effect 3: At night, the Demonic Servant can receive the 【Night Demon】 status bonus, increasing all attributes by two times.】

【Skill Effect 4: Targets killed by the Demonic Servant can also be refined into Devilish Qi, automatically flowing into the Demonic Lord's body.】

【Hint: The contract target must voluntarily accept; forced contracts have a very high chance of failure.】

Zhou Huai looked at the skill's description, and a certain plan in his mind finally had a Foundation for implementation.

Establishing a Guild.

This skill perfectly solved the two biggest problems for a Guild.

Loyalty and strength.

With the contract, he no longer had to worry about his subordinates betraying him.

A 10% attribute bonus might not seem like much now.

But once Moria's Rank increased, this bonus would become incredibly terrifying.

Not to mention the two-fold all-attribute increase at night.

Demons active only in the dark of night.

An invincible Night Demon Legion.

Just thinking about it.

Zhou Huai felt his blood heating up.

He transferred his consciousness to Yasuo, having him take Moria to the apartment that Uncle Fu had rented.

The sisters Mo Li and Mo Yu lived there.

"Knock, knock."

Yasuo knocked on the door.

The door was quickly opened, revealing Mo Li's face, filled with surprise.

"Boss!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Her voice was full of excitement.

"You finally came to find me!"

Mo Li stepped forward, naturally grabbed Yasuo's arm, and gently shook it.

"Do you know? These past few days, I've been listening to you, staying home obediently to take care of my sister."

She pouted, complaining softly.

"I'm so bored I could die."

Her gaze then fell on the quiet man behind Yasuo.

The man had pale skin, silver hair, and a face so handsome it seemed unreal.

Just standing there, he exuded an aristocratic aura that kept people at a distance.

Mo Li cautiously asked.

"Boss, this is?"

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, spoke calmly.

"My friend, Moria."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li quickly released Yasuo's arm and offered Moria a polite smile.

"Hello, Mr. Moria!"

At this moment, Moria was controlled by the Smart Core AI.

He looked at the girl in front of him, a perfectly charming smile appearing on his face.

"Good morning, esteemed Ms. Mo Li."

He took a step forward, bowed slightly, and took Mo Li's somewhat flustered small hand.

Then, he gently kissed the back of her hand.

"You truly are a lovely young lady."

Mo Li's cheeks instantly flushed, like a startled little rabbit, and she quickly pulled her hand back.

She awkwardly smoothed her hair, forcing a smile.

"Th-thank you for the compliment."

Zhou Huai's consciousness, inside Yasuo, was a little speechless.

He immediately gave instructions to Moria's AI.

Stop being so dramatic.

Stand obediently behind me.

Moria's smile remained unchanged as he elegantly straightened up and retreated behind Yasuo, not saying a word.

It was as if the frivolous Young Master from just now was merely Mo Li's illusion.

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, got straight to the point.

"Do you remember what I said before, that once you've rested, I'd have something for you to do?"

Mo Li immediately straightened her back and nodded vigorously.

"Of course I remember!"

Her eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?"

"Form a Guild."

Yasuo's voice was calm, yet it was like a thunderclap, exploding in Mo Li's mind.

Mo Li's expression instantly froze, her mouth slightly agape, and she pointed at herself.

She had the same expression as Bubba from The Little Mermaid.

"Ah?"

"Me?"

"Create a Guild?"

"Boss, isn't this task... a bit too much credit for me?"

Mo Li waved her hands repeatedly, shaking her head like a rattle drum.

"I can't do it, I really can't do it."

"If anyone should create it, it's you, I... I'll just help you out."

Yasuo looked at her, his gaze unwavering.

He shook his head, his voice decisive.

"You are to create it."

"You will be the Guild Master."

He took a step forward, and an invisible pressure enveloped Mo Li.

"I remember you said before that in the past, you had no choice and could only be manipulated by others!"

"But now, I'm giving you a choice."

"Either obey my arrangements, force yourself to grow, and learn to stand on your own."

"Or you and your sister leave here right now."

"I never keep useless people."

That last sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured over Mo Li's head.

The color instantly drained from her face, turning it ashen.

Her eyes immediately reddened.

She didn't hesitate for a moment.

With a "thump," she directly knelt before Yasuo.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down.

"Boss!"

Mo Li said with a heavy sob.

"Boss, don't drive me away!"

"From the moment you saved me from the Bloody Guild... my life has been yours!"

"Please... don't drive me away!"

"I promise! I promise to listen to you! I will grow up!"

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, watched her quietly.

He squatted down, his gaze level with hers.

"Then are you willing to follow me forever and never betray me?"

Looking into Yasuo's deep eyes.

Tears blurred her vision, but her eyes held an unprecedented resolve.

"Boss, I am willing!"

Yasuo slowly stood up.

"Good."

He tilted his head towards Moria behind him.

Moria understood, stepping forward slowly.

He extended his hand, his pale, slender fingers slowly caressing Mo Li's smooth forehead.

The icy touch made Mo Li's body instinctively tremble, subconsciously wanting to dodge.

But she remembered Yasuo's words from just now.

She bit her lip, forcing herself to remain steady, head down and motionless.

Moria's calm words echoed in her ears.

Like a demon's whisper in her ear.

"Now, please do not resist."

"Graciously accept the Demonic Lord's Contract..."
